WEP Enabled

WEP encryption (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is a security protocol that is used to provide highly secure data encryption for wireless local area networks.

To use WEP encryption, select the WEP Enabled check box.

When connecting to an access point, the encryption key for the Wireless LAN Card in your computer must match the encryption key of the access point you connect to. Accordingly, if the Wireless LAN Card uses MyKey as a pass phrase, the access point must use the MyKey as the encryption key.

There are two steps to setting up WEP encryption:

1.Select 64bit or 128bit encryption level.

2.Create encryption keys with a PassPhrase or manually.

Select an Encryption Level

Select 64bit or 128bit in the Encryption (WEP) drop down menu. The higher level of data encryption (128bit) is more difficult to encrypt and decrypt, but high levels of encryption will reduce the performance of
